PhD Proposal: Getting Started

It occurred to me as I exercise my avoidance and procrastination muscles, that it might be beneficial to start a blog. I’ve spent several days now jotting down ideas of how to get started on my PhD proposal. Obviously, the best way is to simply get started.
So far, I have started writing the first two paragraphs explaining the philosophical orientation of my intended work. Then, I started creating folders for the most significant aspects of the proposal:
- theoretical articles & references
- papers about phenomenography
- papers about learner-identity
- papers about threshold concepts and reflectivity
I am now ready to type out the headings for the main sections of the proposal.
The main thing to keep in mind is the scope of the proposal: 3000 words.
